The WOLF-3184-DAL-C module from WOLF Advanced Technology has been integrated within Mercury Systems’ ROCK3 mission computer platform, providing safety-certifiable video processing technology for aerospace and defense applications.
As aerospace and defense platforms continue to move toward software-defined architectures, modern airborne systems must process growing volumes of sensor data, support advanced mission applications, and enable faster decision-making while meeting demanding certification requirements.
The WOLF-3184-DAL-C module is WOLF’s first DO-254 Design Assurance Level C certifiable board and was showcased at Eurosatory 2026 as part of the company’s advanced embedded computing portfolio, including VNX+ solutions. Its integration within Mercury’s ROCK3 mission computer platform highlights the role of modular, certifiable embedded technologies in supporting next-generation mission systems.
Mercury’s ROCK3 is a safety-certifiable mission computer for military and advanced mobility aircraft, delivered through a SOSA-aligned 3U OpenVPX architecture. It supports mission management, sensor fusion, surveillance, and avionics processing, while enabling mixed safety-domain workloads in a high-performance, certifiable system. With an open and modular approach, the platform helps streamline integration and accommodate evolving mission requirements while maintaining safety.
Within the ROCK3 platform, the WOLF-3184 provides video capture and processing capabilities for modern mission requirements, including real-time situational awareness and advanced sensor integration. Designed to align with DO-254 processes, the module enables safety-certifiable video input and output functionality that can be integrated into system-level certification frameworks.
By supporting reduced integration risk and efficient deployment of safety-critical platforms, the WOLF-3184 demonstrates how high-integrity embedded modules can contribute to cohesive, certifiable systems without adding integration complexity.
As mission requirements continue to evolve, demand for high-performance, certifiable, and interoperable embedded solutions is expected to grow. WOLF’s support for the ROCK3 mission computer shows how specialized embedded technologies can contribute to scalable, future-ready systems for safety-critical applications.
